New house and dedicated Arcade/Bar/Theater on the way

 The new design looks cool, but still tight.  The space looks smaller too, and different in size with each drawing.

I'm not sure now what you're shooting for.  This seems a bit off the mark from what I thought you meant by 'family friendly' in the original post, but definitely would now discourage napping and reading in couches.

Think about how a night would play out in the space as is.  Would a bartender be stuck if someone's playing Ice Cold Beer?  Would people be able to hear the TV over the games and skeeball thunder? Will guests become bored of the same games after several visits?  Will you plan birthday parties for the kids, and if so will the cake, snacks etc be served in another room or here?  If here, do you have space?  Will the noise of the arcade drive away people that might otherwise enjoy sitting at the bar?

Again, its a nice design for an arcade, but I'm not sure if that's what you were shooting for.  I'm curious to know if this is what you're wife agreed to also...I have a feeling that she was onboard thinking there'd be a theater area and a place for her and kids to hang out in too.

And you thought she was being nice giving you the space for a game room !! --- It's probably more that she wants her space back and is putting all your stuff into a single location in the hope it stays there.

Maximus:

Yeah if you read up a little you will see why my wife likes any design tgat gets my cab out of the house. Also why this design is smaller.

As for kids birthday parties and cakes, this is a showcase for my collection not Chuck E Cheese.

Escrow closed and loan funded, we pick up the keys either today or tomorrow.

Moving forward I've decided to stay pretty close to the design a few posts up where the whole garage is dedicated to the arcade and small bar. We're getting contractors in this week to start quoting on the extensions we are planning. If we can afford to extend the house the way we want then I'll get another 11x20 ft room off of the garage that I will dedicate to the home theater.

On another piece of the property I'm planning on having a 15'x19' slab poured and then dropping a 12' x 12' gambrel lofted shed on one corner of it leaving a walkway and 15x7 outdoor work space, the shed will be my dedicated workshop.

Now, where did I bury that huge bag of money???
